Zara's POV

Family dinner.

Two words that should mean warmth, laughter, and people who give a damn about each other.

In the Devereaux household, however, family dinner means manipulation dressed up as manners, cruelty served on expensive plates, and my father reminding everyone that he owns the room.

I would rather stick my hand into a blender.

Unfortunately, Theo will be there.

And that changes everything.

I stand in front of the mirror, studying the faint bruise on my cheek. The fight

  • The Biker King's Black Widow    22. The President's Wife

    Zara's POV The last thing I expect after Damon discovers I'm the Black Widow is to spend my afternoon at his motorcycle club's clubhouse, but apparently the universe has decided that my life hasn't been entertaining enough lately.I blame my husband.More specifically, I blame his refusal to understand that discovering one secret about me does not give him permission to investigate the other hundred things I haven't told him.Unfortunately, Damon Veyron has never been particularly good at minding his own business."You've been staring at that phone for ten minutes," he says from the driver's seat."I'm considering throwing it out the window.""Why?""Because your messages keep appearing on it."He glances at me, amusement flickering in his grey eyes. "You could simply stop answering them.""I could also push you out of this moving vehicle, but apparently we're both making sacrifices today."His laugh irritates me more than it should.I turn toward the window, watching the road slide

  • The Biker King's Black Widow    21. The Mask Comes Off

    Zara's POV "You're Black Widow."For one ridiculous second, I consider pretending I haven't heard him.Then I remember that Damon Veyron is many things, but stupid isn't one of them.I straighten my shoulders, ignore the sharp pull in my ribs, and glare at him."Congratulations, Beast. You've finally managed to put two and two together. Do you want a fucking medal?"His grey eyes remain fixed on mine."How long?"I laugh without humor. "How long have I been standing here listening to you ask stupid questions? About five minutes too long.""How long have you been fighting?""That's none of your business.""Apparently, it is now.""According to whom?""According to the fact that you're my wife, someone has been threatening you, and I just watched you walk out of an underground fighting warehouse with blood dripping from your hands.""You watched me walk out of a warehouse. You didn't watch me fight.""No. But I saw enough.""Then perhaps you should stop looking."I turn toward the exit

  • The Biker King's Black Widow    20. The Fight

    Zara's POV By nine that evening, I've decided that whoever sent me those messages can go straight to hell.I'm going back to the warehouse.Maybe it's reckless. Maybe it's exactly what the bastard behind the photograph wants me to do. But I'm not surrendering the only part of my life that belongs entirely to me because some coward has decided to play games with my head.Besides, if someone has been watching me, the warehouse is the best place to discover whether they're watching me again.I pull my black hoodie over my head, tuck my hair beneath the hood, and check the small blade secured inside my boot. I won't need it in the ring, but I've never been foolish enough to walk into an uncertain situation without a backup plan.My phone buzzes on the bed.A message from Damon.Damon: Where are you?I stare at the screen.How the hell does he always manage to appear at the exact moment I want nothing to do with him?Me: Somewhere peaceful.His reply comes almost immediately.Damon: That

  • The Biker King's Black Widow    19. Someone Knows

    Zara's POV I barely sleep.Every time I close my eyes, I see the photograph.Me standing outside the warehouse, dressed in my black hoodie, my hands wrapped after the fight. The angle is clear enough to show that whoever took it wasn't simply passing by. They were watching me.Watching the Black Widow.My stomach twists at the thought.For years, I've kept my underground life separate from everything else. My family knows nothing about it. Victor knows nothing about it. And Damon certainly doesn't know that his supposedly troublesome wife spends her nights fighting strangers for money and a reputation that makes men twice her size think twice before stepping into a ring with her.The underground world is the one place where my surname means nothing. Nobody cares who my father is, who my sister sleeps with, or which billionaire I was supposed to marry. They care about whether I can fight.And I can.But if my identity becomes public, that freedom disappears. People will start asking q

  • The Biker King's Black Widow    18. The First Threat

    Zara's POV By the time I get home, Victor Black has managed to ruin what little patience I have left.His smug face keeps appearing in my mind, along with the way he looked at me when I told him I would uncover the truth about that night four years ago.He knows something.I'm sure of it.And whatever it is, he has no intention of telling me willingly.I toss my keys onto the console table and kick off my heels. My feet ache, my head hurts, and the last thing I need is another man trying to tell me what I can and cannot do.Unfortunately, I happen to be married to one.Damon is in the living room, sitting on the sofa with his phone in one hand. His black shirt is rolled up to his elbows, revealing the tattoos running along his forearms. He glances up when I enter."That bad, Little Dove?""Do you ever mind your own damn business, Beast?""Not when you walk through my front door looking like you're planning a murder.""Maybe I'm planning two."His mouth curves into an irritating smirk

  • The Biker King's Black Widow    17. Victor Comes Back

    Zara's POV I should have known my day was going too well.The moment I step out of the boutique and spot Victor Black leaning against his car across the street, every pleasant thought I have entertained since breakfast disappears. He looks exactly as I remember him, dressed in an immaculate charcoal suit, his expensive watch catching the afternoon sunlight, his dark hair perfectly styled, and that handsome face wearing an expression of wounded regret that would probably fool anyone who didn't know what an excellent liar he could be.Unfortunately for him, I know.I know what he looks like when he lies, how his voice softens when he wants something, and how quickly he can turn himself into the injured party when his own actions threaten to expose him. I used to find those little mannerisms endearing. I used to believe they meant he trusted me enough to let me see the vulnerable man beneath his polished exterior.Apparently, I was an idiot."Zara," he calls when I start towards my car.
